Sounds like there are non-lethal alternatives to some of this pain - need to look into some of the OTC creams mentioned and also if insurance covers any of the electronic units? I know for my back - the doc said tens wasnt strong enough - mentioned another machine that might work but was very expensive and non-covered - so not an option for now..... for the buzzing legs - David - does tens really help that? The ice is something I can try - but at night cant imgine getting up at midnight and soaking my feet! (my head mybe!)

Its been suggested by several wise members I have genetic testing for drug intolerances - so am going to look into this with my doc as we may be able to find something I can tolerate.... (I'm the poster girl for adverse drug reactions)

So we keep moving forward and hoping to find the right combo for each of us!
